Аннотация:The problem of the interaction of a single two-level atom with a single mode of the quantized electromagnetic field in a coherent state in an ideal resonator in the resonance case is considered. The evolution in time of the atomic inversion, represented by the Jaynes-Cummings sum, is studied. On the basis of the application of the theorem on the approximation of a trigonometric sum by a shorter one (ATS), a new efficient method for approximating the Jaynes-Cummings sum is constructed. New asymptotic formulas for the atomic inversion are found, which approximate it on various time intervals, defined by relation between the atom-field coupling constant and the average photon number in the resonator field before the interaction of the field with the atom. The asymptotics that we obtain give the possibility to predetermine the details of the process of the inversion in the Jaynes-Cummings model depending on the field characteristics.
